These Star Roses names from Meilland are just too much, lol.

I'm waiting for 'Yorkshine Terrier in Purse' and 'Sassy Advice Columnist'. :P

Speaking of which, I have always wondered why they never recycled 'Golden Girls'. Yeah, the franchise is probably legalized for eons, but they have the originally named rose, too, and they seem to not be bothered by recycling old names. It fits the concept they are going for, without being eyeroll-worthy.

Varietal denomination: cv. Meitafnah.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The new variety of Rosa hybrida Grandiflora rose plant was created in France by artificial pollination wherein two parents were crossed which previously had been studied in the hope that they would contribute the desired characteristics. The female parent (i.e., the seed parent) was the product of the cross of the ‘Meironsse’ variety (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,496) and the ‘Meipsilon’ variety (non-patented in the United States). The male parent (i.e., pollen parent) was a non-patented unnamed and unreleased seedling.

The parentage of the new variety can be summarized as follows:
(‘Meironsse’בMeipsilon’)×Unnamed Seedling.
